TEXAS PRCSS .ASSOCIATION
AUSTIN— Next week some
12,500,000 Texans will make up
their minds whom to cast their
I ballots for among a. huge list
of candidatesjfor local,'.’ district,
|state and federal offices.
Prime interest is in the gov-
ernor's race, where five dem-
ocrats arid two republicans are
[hoping to replace Gov. Price
I Daniel. The governor is work-
ling hard to see that they don’t.
Down the list, to the office of
[precinct chairman, there are
| more candidates than in many
years.
[This is due primarily to the
‘open races” for ,the major
[state offices . . . namely those
| of attorney general and lieu-
Itenant governor. These open-
lings have allowed those down
[the line to try to move up while
| at the same time leaving lesser
[offices open.
Also on May 5, the two par-
ities will hold precinct conven-
[tions. They will name delegates
to county conventions. County
delegates, in turn, will name
delegates to state conventions
to be held in September. This is
where party platforms will be
I written.
Big side-bar issues on May 5
[will be the referendums on
horse race betting and poll tax
* repeal. These will appear on
both the republican and the
democratic ballots. Also, on the
GOP ballot is the question i
whether Padre Island should be I so ruied
developed as a state park. Re-
sults of the balloting on these
referendums are not binding.
But they provide a public opin-
| precaution is being taken to
1 prevent another invasion from
I out-of-state.
I On the positive side of the
planting problems, the agricul-
ture commissioner said South
Tdxas cotton farmers have been
given a 10-day extension— to
midnight April 30—to plant, or
replant where seeds - failed to
germinate because of unusu-
ally dry weather.
NO SECRETS ALLOWED IN
SCHOOLS—A Texas law that
says that public school author-
ities can suspend or expell a
student who solicits members
for a fraternity, or other secret
society, also prohibits other
organizations from doing so. At-
! torney General Will Wilson has

MIT—Governor Daniel sent tele-
grams to the governors of the
other 31 oil-producing states,
and asked them to join him in
supporting an oil imports lim-
itation amendment. U. S. Con-
gressman Tom Steed of Okla-
homa introduced the proposal.
It would require oil imports to
be cut to the 1956 ratio with U.
S. production.
At the 1957 Governors’ Con-
ference, Daniel was successful
in getting 32 gubernatorial sig-
natures on a petition to Pres.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, urging
mandatory import controls. But
he feels that nothing has been
done to prevent imports from
supplanting domestic produc-
tion.
Daniel said that the recent
schedule of eight-day allowables
in Texas has resulted in a loss
of more than $100,000,000 in tax
revenue for the state. May will
be another eight-day producing
month.
AGRICULTURAL WAR ON—
About 40,000 bushels of sweet
potatoes worth $100,000 are in
danger of being ruined by the
sweet potato weevil, according
to State Agriculture Commis-
sioner John C. White, Some
1,200 growers in 10 counties
plan to join the state in a two-
month battle against the pest.
About $15,000 will be spent
to dust sweet potato crops and
some 100 storage houses in
Anderson, Cherokee, Houston,
Leon, Madison, Nacogdoches,
Rusk, San Augustine,
and Trinity counties.
White says the war against
the Kaphra beetle, which de-
vours grain, has been won at
a cost of $100,000. But every
group which isn’t on the list of
specifics is forbidden.
BOAT TRAFFIC BIG PRO-
BLEM— As warm weather in-
spires the owners of 177,082 mo-
tor boats to launch their crafts
on Texas’ lakes and streams,
the problem of boat safety
comes to the fore. The boat
safety committee of the Sports-
men’s Clubs of Texas plans to
study the matter with Rep. Ben
Atwell on April 27.
Atwell has been directing
questionnaires to all sports-
men’s clubs to determine where
and how boating accidents oc-
cur. Survey is to see if the
Boat Safety Act passed by the
56th Legislature contains prac-
tical plans for accident preven-
tion.
Henry J. LeBlanc Sr., presi-
dent of SCOT, called ameeting
of the board for the satne day
in Fort Worth. There members
will review the McGee Bend
Dam project and other U. S.
Corps of Engineers’ plans which
relate to impoundments on
drainage systems in the State.
NEW HIGHWAY MARKERS
—The 57th Legislature failed to
appropriate funds for advertis-
ing Texas’ tourist attractions
out of state. But the Texas High-
way Commission has come up
with a dazzling device for point-
ing out places of interest to
travelers once they get in the
state.
Historic sites and other spots
of unusual interset will be
composed of representatives i
from the Highway Department, j
the Parks Board an dthe Game |
and Fish Commission screens J
all recommended sites. About
100 spots are being considered
right now.

Shelby p0jntecj out by big, cast-alumi-
num markers, such as those
| used in Virginia. These mark-
ers will be erected at roadside
parks and turnoffs, so drivers
can pull over and read the le-
gends at leisure.
Markers are three feet wide
and four feet, 10 inches, high
and look like they’re made of
Swedish steel. They’ll be mount-
ed on six-foot aluminum poles.
Two already have been erect-
ed at a cost of $1,000 each. One,
placed two miles northwest of
Tyler, marks the site of the
largest ^Confederate Army pri-
soner of War camp west of the
Mississippi. It was paid for by
the grandson of a Union sol-
dier who spent some time there.
The other was purchased by
the Odessa Chamber of Com-
merce to point to the famous
Meteor Crater near Odessa.
On May 4, a third plaque will
be set up at McCamey. It will

penditure of state’funds for fu-
ture plaques.
Cost of plaques can be re-
duced to $700 each in mass lots.

Cotton, exported through Mexico; brought desperately
needed foreign gold. Homefront industries
were established. Comforts were few, but
morale stayed high .. and there was good
Texas beer, enjoyed then as now.
For then, as now, beer was the traditional bev-

hospitality to any occasion. Texans have
always enjoyed the good fellowship that goes

assure maintenance of high standards of quality

What could have been a tra-
gedy resulted only in sun-blis-
tered skins, when two teenage
secretaries from Dexter, N. M.
became lost Sunday afternoon
April 15 of Highway 70, nprth
of Roswell, N.M.
/The girls, Joan Baker, 19,
daughter .'of Mrs. Vincent Ur-
banezyk of White Deer, and
BarbaraCurtis, 17, were*, found
late Monday after spending 30
hours without food on range-
land east of Roswell.
The girls, who managed to
survive solely on water from
the Pecos River, became lost
Sunday afternoon. They had
driven the pickup, owned by
Miss Baker of Highway 70 on
to a dirt road to visit the town
of Poe, which they never found.
Instead they became lost in the
maze of ranch roads and cattle
trails.
The farther they went the
more hopelessly lost they be-
came and decided they had bet-
ter start to look for civilization.
They, finally came to the Pecos
River, whree the pickup became

were found and brought to town.
Police believe the girls had
wandered into the Bitter Lake
Wildlife Refuge about 25 miles
east of Roswell. The girls were
returning from a trip to White
Deer, when they decided on
the side trip. A two-state alert
in New Mexico and Texas had
been issued, for the girls on
Monday morning, when they
failed to return to work. They
had left White Deer Sunday
morning.
The girls stated that they had
considered eating .grasses when
they became very hungry bif:
decided against it for fear o£
becoming ill.
